Well sure, I saw that. I misread your last post before that one, I thought you said *You* made it obvious. Fair enough. Still confused about the wolf lie.
Yeah, sorry. I noticed that, but I didn't have time to clarify because my lunch ended. Anyways, I lied about being a wolf because really, why not? I was pretty sure I was going to be lynched anyways - There were four votes on me already, despite the lack of any real evidence against me. The thing is, you were all right to vote for me because I
was the most suspicious player. My post level was around scum levels - pretty quiet but with a few pop ins here and there.
I'd been defending Disposable Ninja the entire game and
even threw a bandwagon off of him onto Laser. I think it was Laser too who said that I was pretty wishy washy with my votes. I didn't even have a real vote until day 4.
Since I figured you guys were going to lynch me anyways, I figured I might as well have some fun and pretend I was a wolf. The thing is, I was actually going to seriously confess that I was the baner. But when I saw you post this:
Shit, really? No Kazzesque double reverse psychology here? What is *UP* with this game?
I decided not to confess. Your set up was perfect: Kazz had thrown everyone into a loop by outing DN as a wolf. When you gave me the parallel, I realized this was the perfect time to admit my real role then and there because I knew no one would believe me. I contemplated whether I should have at least let you know that I baned Classic or not. But I felt like saying anything else after that would weaken the surprise.
Another reason why I decided not to role reveal - I figured this game was over anyways. See, I was 90% sure Lottel was the last wolf. I didn't consider whether the last wolf was turned or a starting wolf, but I just figured Lottel was a starting wolf.
Really, at the time, I couldn't see how Lottel wasn't the last wolf.
The first strike against him:
he was a low level poster.Here is is protecting a known wolf.Not really suspicious,
until he does it again.Here he is attacking Disposable Ninja, which is good! until DN makes his rebuttal,
at which point Lottel rescinds his vote. It's not really that suspicious that Lottel rescinded his vote. DN was pretty convincing! I was convinced, anyway. However, when Defenestration interrogates DN,
Lottel shuts him down by insulting him, a pretty subtle form of emotional manipulation by getting him to question whether his interrogation was really neccessary.
Tangential but also adding to the suspicion:
Syl fingers Lottel. Of course, Syl is a wolf and can't be trusted, but the later
retraction comes off as a wolf doing damage control for accidentally outing their partner.Each piece of evidence really wasn't condemning on its own, but each one added up to a pretty convincing case for lynching Lottel. Then he turned out to be innocent, at which point I wanted to reach into my computer and strangle him. In retrospect, Lottel and I had pretty similar playing styles.
Okay, I've spent the last two hours eating, typing up this post, and making pizza dough. Now that I've wrapped up this post, I'm going to throw my pizza in the oven.
